John A. Parks opened “Putti,” a solo exhibition at 532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel, on view until Dec 22, 2018. Taking on the subject of putti, the playful and occasionally mischievous babies that populate centuries of Western art history, Parks finds that they “reflect the complexities of human interaction in ways that can be both charming and frightening.” Beyond this new exhibition, Parks has recently been featured at Design Arts Daily, and he contributed an article on Jasper Johns for The Artists Magazine.
